About this episode

Lucy Lyons discusses how Kestrix is revolutionizing building surveys with thermal imaging drones to address heat loss in homes.

The UK is set to spend ~£15bn upgrading 5 million homes by 2030 — but much of the insulation we've already paid for is failing, and the way we survey buildings hasn't really changed in 30 years. Lucy Lyons is fixing that. Her company, Kestrix, flies thermal imaging drones over buildings to map exactly where heat is escaping — and has already covered around 12,000 homes. In this episode, Tom and Lucy get into: Why finding the right co-founder matters more than the idea What's actually broken about EPCs — and what replaces them How £15bn of government retrofit money could be spent far better Why Kestrix's thermal dataset is a moat that compounds in the age of AI The vision: becoming the building-surveying company of the future A must-listen for anyone interested in climate tech, the built environment, and early-stage EIS investing.
